I think the fact that a lot of groups are moving to it is partly an indication that it will stay around for a while.
As far as the pricing, I thought that was just for attachments, but that is a valid concern. Google Groups is free, but Google just announced they are going to close Google Plus, so I don't know what will happen with Google Groups. I'm actually surprised Google Groups is still around. I guess there is always Yammer and Reddit.
